Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Cruise control would not disengage. When my husband pressed the brakes, the car sped up. We had to pass 5 vehicles, barely enough room. He finally turned the motor off and was able to pull off the freeway (i70). But for the grace not god, we would have died of injured ourselves and others. Brakes should never make your car speed up.”

“In the middle of the night, the horn started going off and and wouldn't stop until the batteries were disconnected. Took to the dealership, but they couldn't reenact the problem. They said that the air bag expands and can push on the horn. The only way to fix is remove the air bag which is behind the horn to fix whatever the problem is. We were told that we would have to pay for that. I think this is a Ford issue and a horn is a safety issue and a very much needed part of a vehicle. So they took the fuse out of the horn so the horn wouldn't blare in the middle of the night. …”

“While driving my truck it has stopped running and just shut itself off like its not getting fuel. I have read the complaints on the f250 super duty and my truck is responding exactly the same way. I am afraid to drive it due to someone hitting me or it causing an accident so I looked on here today and saw the recall for the super duty. This is a serious and dangerous issue that someone definitely needs to address. I was driving down the road and the vehicle lost power and I tried to push the pedal to get fuel but nothing happened. …”

“Vehicle randomly dies while driving down road does not matter speed or what road you are on happens to the point we almost expect it now everytime we drive. It will act fine no warning then in middle of driving it just shuts off very dangerous. It also, will randomly loss power not all the time but occasionally if going over 45mph, the A/C works until you drive over 45mph then just stops until you get to a stop sign. Take off again its fine til that 45mph mark then blows hot. Had truck since sept. 2018 & have had the problem since at least 1 out of 4x driving this will all happen. …”

“Engine stalled without warning driving in traffic while weaving in and out of traffic trying to avoid hitting other vehicles or them hitiing me. A dangerous, intense moment trying to get my truck off the road with no power steering or power brakes. This truck may or may or m ay not start. No crank/no start, no start/cranks, no start/bucking and stalling engine. These issues relate to the injector wiring harness due to chaffing and crushing, a very time consuming task. Technician verified the harness is worn and wires are exposed. …”
